This is a Wonderful Toy! It is not a professional tool. This is a Toy for people who remember a time when you loved to play! I feel strongly that there is room in our life for both. And they each enhance each other. It is also a lovely little machine. Well worth the cost.

impossible to take your photos out of the camera

Initially I was very excited with the lens and how creative this camera can be. Be prepared for your wonderful photos to never come out of the camera. Neither the smart phone Leica software or a card reader will ever be able to allow you to store your photographs on your phone or your computer. Leica photos software is one of the worse interfaces I ever known. Do not buy this camera unless you don't want to ever be able to store your digital photograph files.

For film processing, can the camera determine if images are b/w or color, etc. or is that done by the film?
Asked by: David
The Leica SOFORT 2 will print color photos if you are using color film. However, since it can also save the image to a memory card, you can reprint later in B&W from a computer printer.
